A future leader!
Another idiot who doesn't understand that the NRA represents the 2nd Amendment rights of millions of AMERICAN voters ( 66 million for sure). What blues decide as far as their 2nd Amendment rights will be left for the blues to decide themselves. What monuments blues decide are relevant to them and their future will be left to them to decide among themselves as well. The blues should have about 5-10 years to figure out what's valuable to them and what's not before the violence and the chaos begins separating the country.
It may be, that if you reds continue to resist sensible gun control, the blues and most Americans along with them will go for confiscation and repeal of the 2A, and rebels who resist this will suffer the fate of the branch Davidians at Waco. We are a long way from there yet; students like Matt Post who is in the video here, and David Hogg especially, point out that they still favor the 2nd Amendment, perhaps even the Bush Court's Heller ruling. What is amazing is how you reds and those who troll on you tube, facebook and twitter ignore what they say, and lie and declare that these students and other gun control advocates want to take your rights away. The Second Amendment does not guarantee a right to bear arms to anyone who wants one, or any kind of gun.
Unless you want your "right" to a semi-automatic weapons of war that load more than 10 or many more bullets at a time and shoots them several times a second, or unless you want adjudicated mentally ill people and convicted criminals and terrorists to have a "right" to have these and other guns, then you should not worry about or oppose these purple (maybe not even blue) young people and others (often gun-owners themselves like Gov. McAuliffe) who want gun control.
I agree with your timing though. Blues are ascendant now, and will probably take over the government sometime between 2020 and 2024, perhaps in stages starting this year when they take the House, and blues will have until about 2025-26 to decide, propose and negotiate the things we want. Then violence and chaos could separate the country. But my estimate is that if the blues or otherwise generally-progressive elements are in charge, as seems likely, the government will have little trouble quelling most of the rebellion, and states or counties that secede in the mid to later 2020s will probably petition for re-entry. Meanwhile, a more parliamentary or federalized system than we have now may be instituted, and we may have more than two powerful political parties. These times are getting very close now. I hope people are ready mentally and emotionally for the bumpy ride.
Democrats don't understand the horoscope system I propose yet. And many progressives and other sharp observers notice what I notice, that the Democratic candidates being talked about now are not the ones who could defeat Donald Trump, even if many well-known people like Comey declare him unfit. They did this in 2016 and he still won. Trump is a talented speaker and demagogue. He can work a crowd and connect with people. The Democrats must nominate a candidate like McAuliffe or Landrieu who can do this too to defeat him. Otherwise, if the best candidates continue to be ignored, the best we can hope for is a huge congressional sweep that makes Trump a virtual prisoner, convicted felon and ex-president, or irrelevant puppet at best, by January 2023.
